No mate, Im quite confident they didn't and have even just checked at least 10 different Highline interior photos to double check and they all had the type i posted in the image above. It's taller than the standard centre console with an added pocket / compartment plus they came with a different shaped leather  handbrake sleeve but that's about the only differences.

Interesting, so the ones I have seen are running the usa spec then.

The only proper armrests Ive seen in a mk3 Golf have been aftermarket jobbies.

Highly likely.

I wonder how easy it is to incorporate one into a highline console? Anyone done it?

Like I posted earlier (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=mk3+golf+armrest) One of these type would be pretty simple to adapt into a mk3 Highline. I reckon.

I've got a couple of highline consoles in the garage and neither have armrests, i'm pretty sure it's only a US spec thing :smiley:

Dom - Have either of you highline consoles have the leather handbrake gaitor attached, if so do you wanna sell one if it's in good condition?
I need one to fit another US spec console ive aquired which look crap with the standard handbrake.

Neither of them have got handbrake gaiters attached which is partly why they are still in the garage and not in the car :grin:

Other than that one of them is mint, the other one is missing the rear ashtray. I could be persuaded to part with them so PM me if your interested and I can sort some pics out :smiley:
